Allis Chalmers wd45 hand clutch

From the hand clutch itself. That keeps the pressure plate contained which allows for a NEUTRAL/ disengaged position of the clutch plates/discs. That one is junk. I doubt that a new one can be had from AGCO. If you found a good used one you might be able to worm in into place in-chassis when the hand clutch fully engaged exposing the groove that wire fits into.

Awesome

That is the snap ring that holds clutch together. It's bent . Should be a perfect circle. Your clutch cannot function properly . There was no "snap" in the clutch like that. You were asked about the "snap".

I have a ac wd for parts at my grandmas house. I can't remember if it had a hand clutch, if it does could I take the snap ring form it to fix the wd45

A used one is fine. The WD should have the same ring on the hand clutch.

I'll get a used one from the tractor salvage yard near me because the wd did not have a hand clutch

It could be
I could have sworn that the sticker was wd

How would I take a snap ring out of a used tractor

Pretty sure you can get it over shaft and work it in place

I cant get the ring on without it bending out of shape

I got the ring on the shaft but it was to bent out of shape to stay In place

If the ring is not too bad you can save it. Flatten it on vice or anvil with hammer. Compress it a bit to get to the size you want and try again. To get it in place use snap ring pliers unless you do not have space to do that.

i did get it back to the right shape

Flat blade snap ring pliers that OPENS wide enough would beat splitting the tractor.
